8-in-1 Smart Card Reader

The Hetai Tech X02 is an 8-in-1 smart card reader designed for users who need to access multiple card formats through a single USB 2.0 device. It supports SIM, SD, TF, MMC and MicroSD cards alongside financial IC, ID and CAC cards. The reader draws power directly from the USB port so no external supply is needed. Its compact black ABS shell measures about 15mm by 65mm by 82mm and includes red and blue LED status indicators.

Replaces multiple single-slot readers

This unit consolidates several dedicated readers into one device, removing cable clutter for anyone who regularly switches between banking cards, government ID cards and storage media. The upgrade is worthwhile when a workflow involves daily use of both contact smart cards and common memory cards. It supports 5V, 3V and 1.8V smart cards compliant with ISO/IEC 7816 Class A, AB and C, and works with middleware such as ActivClient and various defence portal applications.

Fits any USB 2.0 port on Windows or Linux

Plug the reader into a standard USB 2.0 Type-A port; the 480 Mbps interface requires no driver installation on Windows 98 through Windows 10, Windows CE 5.0, Vista, Server 2003 and Linux. The short integrated cable keeps the desktop tidy while the CCID compliance ensures broad software compatibility. It is not suited for users who need USB 3.0 speeds, UHS-II memory card performance or a reader that supports only a single specialised card type.

Questions about this item

What are the exact dimensions of the X02 reader so I can check desk space?

Which driver or mode must be selected during setup so the reader works with ActivClient on Windows 10?

Install the standard USB CCID driver; the device enumerates as a CCID smart-card reader and ActivClient detects it automatically without extra configuration.

How often should the card-insertion slot be cleaned to keep 1.8 V, 3 V and 5 V contacts reliable?

Use a dry lint-free swab every few months or after heavy use; no lubricants or liquids are needed for the ISO 7816 contacts.
